Ur^ DING OVER THE TOP." That exprewion has been on the vJ lips of above fifty millions since the days before the Victory of the Mama. The valorous English soldiers gave voice to it. It was bom of intensity of purpose to dare and to do. It is not all sentiment. Indeed a very'large part of it is faith, faith in the cause. It is fundamentally biblical. The idea is emphatically brought forward in that psalm of faith bom of the spirit of David and called the fsth in the King James version and the 17th in a modem translation by Kenrick. Read this from King James (29th verse) : For by Thee I have run through a troop: and by my God I have leaped over a wall. And this from the Kenrick rendering (29th verse, 2nd line): And through my God 1 shall go over a wall. Open your Bible now. Read all of that portion of this psalm of faith from the 29th to the 39th verse inclusive in the King James version and that in the Kenrick translation beginning with the 29th and ending with the first part of the 40th verse. Better—we shall give it here in both translations:

FLASHLIGHTS
We are the spiritual children of the prophets and our God is by no means the God of Prussian conception. Becaase their Got is not our God we must hold fast the national faith we have impressed on our coin. Let not temporary success find us over- joyful, nor setbacks make us despair of the victory. The day must and shall come when the forces of freedom will run through a troop (smash the last line of the Hun) and go over a wall (clean over the top) that is the last between them and that complete victory which alone can satisfy, the victory of faith. Quicken your faith, dear readens, by keeping the food trucks moving. Food, indeed, will win the war.
